    I’m way left of progressives. They should have a voice but they need to understand this isn’t their movement to lead, most times they get in the way.

        I’m a supporting of progressives but it’s the take over by mind leftist making the entire movement about sex and gender roles when there’s far bigger issues at play. I support these movements, but they coopting the left movement has made the right wing so powerful, even those who would be progressives have gone further right. I’m sick and tired of non European/american people been blown to bits to make shareholders richer while progressives talk about the “massive” difference they made in extending gay pride by 3 more days or some shit

        Accept less than perfect

        That sounds a lot like liberal ‘shut up and do as you are told’ People have done that for decades and the only people things get better for are the rich.

        We don’t want perfection, we want equality and equity

          And then you’ll continue to get nothing while your opposites succeed at the game. You think evangelicals don’t want perfect authoritarianism? Of course they do. But they’re smart enough to know that they can only get there inch by inch by working with the middle over time, and not seeming extreme.

          You can either get over yourself and work strategically, or you can continue to fail against those that do.

          And as your pride prevents the former, we slide farther right. But go on, stomp your feet about it. Maybe this time it’ll help.
